Ever wonder if the ways your husband drives you crazy are normal?  Or if you're a husband, the things you can't stand about your wife.

When asked to rate their top relationship irritants, men and women give strikingly different answers, reports University of Louisville psychologist Michael Cunningham. Here's what grates on us most.

Men's complaints about women:

    •  
      • the silent treatment
      • bringing up things he's done in the distant past
      • being too hot or too cold
      • being critical
